he might have been going 5 mph. it was in an unpaved parking lot with a lowered mustang. UPR isn't bad for a track car, but it is too fragile for a DD.

I got no complaints on UPR's rear UCA's and LCA's. Made an amazing difference on my car launching it on slicks.

Not to challenge you, but how would such a bar hold up under the rigors of the 1/4 mile, but not over a slow speed bump?

My guess is this bar was damage by lots of DD duties and finally failed over that last speed bump. Again, not trying to be a richard-head, but rather not a good item for DD due to the constant articulation required around town.

DD and 1/4 are completely different types of stress. 1/4 mile tracks have almost no bumps and do not have turns or pot holes.

Disconnect one link and you can drive it on the street. Just make sure you jack it up from the center to take it off. I jacked my car up from one side( I couldn't get a jack under the fuel sump) and the one arm snapped right off.

For once, I agree with ox. Dont run one on the street. And if you do disconnect one like stated.

Running it with a link disconnected on the street would be like its not even there roght? So just link it back up for racing duty and good to go
